Petition: The right of entry/exit, the right of education Ayman Talal E. Quader was born in Gaza, Palestine, and has lived in Gaza City for his entire life. As a young Palestinian student who truly loves his homeland and has always dreamed of freedom for his people, Ayman has worked very hard to achieve one of his most important goals in life; earning a scholarship for a Masters program in Europe.
Ayman was recently accepted to an academic scholarship program at the Universitat Jaume I (UJI) in Castellَn, Spain for the International Masters in Peace, Conflict and Development Studies (PEACE Master). Ayman was also successfully granted a Spanish student visa in order to complete his academic program that begins February 2010 and runs all the way through to May of 2012.
“All I want is my basic rights to learn and study; rights that are supposed to be guaranteed and recommended by all the international resolutions and the United Nations. I am not asking for a miracle, it is my reserved right. I am handling all my documents, visa, acceptance letter from my university and supporting documents. Why I am being prevented from leaving Gaza and prevented access to Spain?”
Demand an answer for Ayman. Sign the petition here http://www.petitiononline.com/salam123/petition.html.

Israel: the only democracy in the Middle East? This is a cooperative blog hosted by Jewish Voice for Peace. It features reports on the struggle for civil and human rights in Israel and Palestine and questions the very notion of Israel as “the only democracy” in the Middle East. In fact, there is no true democracy within the Occupied Palestinian Territories and only limited and diminishing democracy within Israel. 3.5 million Palestinians live under a 42-year long Israeli occupation in the Palestinian Territories. Inside Israel, migrants, refugees, and Israelis of all backgrounds– including Jews–are increasingly suffering the ongoing erosion of human rights. This blog chronicles the struggles waged by people on the ground, everyday, as they seek to maintain and expand full civil and human rights for all people in the region.

Goldstone Facts Introducing a useful new website containing videos dramatising various sections of the Goldstone Report as well as links to a number of important articles and analyses relating to it. In 2009 the U.N. Fact-Finding Mission led by Justice Richard Goldstone released its report (executive summary can be found here) on the Israeli invasion of Gaza. The report concluded that there exists strong evidence indicating the 22-day war saw serious violations of international human rights and humanitarian law. The aim of the www.goldstonefacts.org project is to make more accessible the report’s salient findings and conclusions and to support the struggle of the Palestinian people. An excellent resource tool. |
